It’s wedding season full tilt!
The other day I found myself in need of a gift idea for a bridal shower for a friend and I couldn’t think of what to get her! I wanted it to be something sentimental that wasn’t from her gift registry because that’s what the wedding day is for. Plus I found this to be a fun alternative to traditional bridal shower gifts!
From the many different idea’s behind the wedding advent I decided to make a fun spin on it and do the 12 Day Count town (similar to the 12 days of Christmas) and making it a wedding day emergency kit (all the little things people don’t always think about for the big day)
First we will start with the supplies you will need to wrap the gifts and present them!
I purchases a majority of my supplies between TJMaxx and Wal-Mart.
- décor box
- wrapping paper
- sticky numbers
- tags to label each dat
- note cards to go with each day
- bags to put items in
- a card for the bride
Next well move into the different items for the wedding day survival kit!
Most of these things I got at the Dollar Store or at the travel section at Wal-Mart.
- Large bag for carrying all the emergency items and then some
- a journal
- a pen
- baby powder
- face wipes
- Q-tips
- Band-Aids
- lint roller
- wrinkle release
- Tide-to-Go
- Kleenex
- Tylenol
- Eye drops
- compact mirror
- safety pins
- sewing kit
- lotion
- deodorant
- hairspary
- bobbi pins
- dry shampoo
- nail kit
- clear polish
- hand sanitizer
- mouth wash
- lip balm
- small wine bottles or a big one
- face sheet mask
Now each day will be something fun to open and I will break down the days and what I put with each not for each day.
